Raylan winces a little at the question. He wasn't going to lie or sugarcoat their situation - either Arthur would understand the position that the community was in or he'd find someone who could explain it better than Raylan could, probably. Raylan disagreed with a lot of the actions that had been taken, but he'd also just gotten here. Wasn't his place.

"They've been tradin' shots with Young Bill, over at Lakeside, breakin' into stores, stealin' shit. I don't have all the pieces of those particulars, but there was a town meetin' around if we should go after their food stores, hidden out in the trees and take them for ourselves, explore Lakeside more, push into their territory. Afraid the community chose that route.. And then someone went and got stupid and kidnapped one of their numbers. That one I missed completely but it's knowledge around town."

Raylan wasn't going to mention the rest of it, of the young Levi kid apparently almost killing the Forest Talker, but he hadn't dug into that. He didn't know how much stock to put in it and trust was low here.

"It's gonna come to a head at some point."
